Blackwater BWGF5, anyone have?

[JD Mandrell]

Anyone tried the Blackwater BWGF5 version of the Benchmade Griptilian?

Looks like a blend of the 551 and 550 blades, and a little higher priced than a regular Grip'.

Guess not.

I looked at one, since I like the blade shape - a bit of the old Benchmade 750 Pinnicle influence - though not as pronounced in this model.

Not a Griptillian fan, though.

I do have some of the BWGF7 models, since I view them as a 154CM serrated BM710 with the noted different blade shape.

If one were to find the blade shape agreeable, I can't imagine the knife not performing to regular Griptillian standards.

Unfortunately, most sellers appear to want a premium for the Blackwater variants.

They seem a bit overpriced to me...they're still on my list though, this one in particular

I'd rather have a blackwater 705

Chadilac,
Thanks for the link! This one certainly doesn't look too bad:http://www.cdnninvestments.com/tafotiknnewb.html

That's a cool tanto. I just like the axis a lot.

I have one of those Ti frame lock knives. I like it, since the handle is actually longer than my hand (a plus to me), yet the overall knife is relatively thin in width and depth.

Does BM make that tanto? Looks kinda like a Protech TR1

It is Benchmade.
